Hunichen Halved

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action began with Chris Hunichen who opened with a raise to 2,000. He was called by Christian Rudolph from the cutoff and Farzad Bonyadi on the button.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Hunichen checked. Rudolph put out a bet of 3,500 and was called by both Bonyadi and Hunichen.

On the turn {A-Clubs} Hunichen checked for a second time. Rudolph put out a bet of 8,500 and Hunichen called for a second time.

The river card was the {K-Diamonds} and after Hunichen checked for a third time. This time, Rudolph jammed his whole stack in the middle for a total of 37,500. From there, Hunichen went deep into the tank, pondering over the action of the hand.

"Will you show me if I fold?" Hunichen asked Rudolph, so which he received no response. While Hunichen was thinking, his table had just started to break. "We're breaking right?" He asked. "Will you show me if I show you?" Hunichen asked again. Still he received no response.

Eventually, Hunichen called, but mucked his hand with Rudolph showed {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a full house. With that, Hunichen cut out the chips for the double up and headed to his new table with significantly less chips.

Levy Climbing

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Following a raise to 2,600, Grant Levy three-bet the cutoff to 6,400. His opponent paused for a few moments before making the call as the dealer dropped a {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked and when the {J-Spades} landed on the turn, Levy's bet of 4,200 was enough to see him pushed the pot to move over the 60,000-chip mark.
